Where VNT is headed
Vontier in 2028 looks nothing like the sleepy fuel-dispenser spinoff Wall Street still prices it as. The Gilbarco and Veeder-Root brands are the boring cash cows funding a transformation that is already halfway done. Invenco by GVR (the software and payments platform stitched together from three acquisitions since 2022) is on track to run point-of-sale, loyalty, back-office, and forecourt control for a growing slice of the 150,000+ convenience stores in North America. That is a recurring-revenue business hiding inside a hardware company, and it is why the same operating margin (18%) is being generated on flat revenue while free cash flow keeps compounding at $290M+ a year.
